Funny how the fantasies about Communism never seem to be reflected by the realities of the brutal totalitarian regimes implimented in its name.
We had to read Marx in some classes I took back in the day. The reality is, nobody has actually ever really tried to implement Marxism on a national scale as "marks" wrote it. Not the Russians, not the Chinese, not the North Koreans, Cubans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Venezuelans. They all sorta talked the talked but marched to a decidedly jack booted tune.
The real truth is that Marxism is doomed to failure by human nature. You can only force people to work so hard for so long and they'll cheat any opportunity given. And those in power will take advantage and the system will be systematically corrupted. -swj
